This comment to many may seems foolish to some persons, but with so many neglect by, especially, our current political leaders to control motorcyclist, and bycyclist ignorance, and arrogance, and stupidity behaviors happening in the B.V.I., more so, especially, over the past 5 years or so, in my opinion, I don't think it is no longer safe for especially bicycle rides to travel as usual in certain ares of our daily used congested traffic roads.
Sadly, true, but true, yes, because of fear to lose votes on general elections day, our leaders have talked, yes, but talking alone have become, and ongoing their action, and necessary needed have been neglected.
Over the pass three (3) decades there have been a large increase of transport vehicles of many types, and both motorcycles, and peddle bikes vying for space on our not-yet-up-to-modern-standard traffic roads.
Back To Political leaders Neglected ignorance
Over the 3 decades mentioned neither motor cycles, and bycles laws were enforced, as was typed, because of fear.
Why is approximately 99% of motor cyclists don't wear helmets when riding? Why is approximately 95% of bicycles don't wear life, and injuries protection gears?
The answer is because of our political leaders feeble leadership, both government, and opposition at this time, hopefully no more further continuing to be as usual.
